Something is off, look at the previous listings it's all over the place for the last few years. Ah noticed it's in Riverdale... which is a totally racist and homophobic part of NYC.

Huh? What makes you say Riverdale is racist and homophobic?

Funny, based on your title line, I thought you were going to be posting about ways to save money, which is the obvious idea. Or getting some short-term seasonal extra work.


If you're paying rent, what's the point of living at home? Makes more sense to have a roommate and make that first step toward independence.

I know people who live there and I know a ton of people who went to Fieldston. Riverdale seems a bit quiet and working professional-y, but I never got a sense of racism or homophobia. Perhaps that’s a holdover perception of earlier eras?

My thought was that he’s paying less than market rate which can go towards savings for a down payment, but if that’s not true, then yea, OP should step out.

I'm not saying you'll get into anything walking around the area, but I wonder how it is in terms of renting an apartment there.

I know people that went to all 3 schools, Riverdale, Fieldston and Horace Mann.

I actually considered going there for high school but the commute (over 2 hours one way) was not something I wanted to do.

No. Are you? Did you have a negative experience/s in Riverdale?

I do have black friends that owned an apartment in Riverdale for years and they have never spoken negatively about the area and never experienced racism there.
